My Crochet Harmony Shawl, aka my Mustard Manta-ray Shawl.

I call it my Mantaray shawl, because laid flat, it does
look a little like a Manta-ray (thanks Mum for pointing that out!) and
because it's mustard coloured!

`

The crochet pattern is really quick and easy, I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn in 'Gold' and a 6mm crochet hook. I used about a ball and a half of wool to make this shawl. The pattern says to use worsted weight yarn and an 8mm hook, so my version is lighter and more lacy and drapey.

For my next projects I have a couple of things in mind, this awesome hat and these cute mini stockings to make a reusable advent calendar for next year. I also have my Mollie Makes Starburst Flower blanket to finish off, I would love to be able to use it in our new home sooner rather than later!

thanks for joining up to the Make, Thrift & Tell link-up again! i adore this shawl, and the beautiful way you can crochet. it does have a manta ray shape, very attractive! it looks really nice on, it must be nice and toasty too x

Haha, yes, I can see the manta, but I doubt I would have without you pointing at it.I really love the scarf, the pattern and the colour are both beautiful, you look very happy wearing it!Now you really tempt me to start a crochet project, despite the fact that I wanted to sew a dress. Well, I guess I could try to do both ;-)~ette
